What does a Mechanical & Electrical Apprenticeship involve?

At Anglian Water, our Mechanical and Electrical Apprentices on Water plants are called Asset Technicians. The team are made up of multi-skilled technicians in mechanical and electrical engineering. They carry out routine operations and maintenance on water supply assets. They also carry out work in a safe and sustainable manner to ensure that no employees, contractors or visitors are put at risk as a result of work activities.

Your first year will be spent on a fully expensed residential course at Grantham College with the other new apprentices. During college holidays, you will spend time at your work base, getting to know your new team and start on the job training. During years 2 and 3, you will continue block release, but spend the remaining time on our sites acquiring practical skills, under the direction of an experienced technician, mentor and manager. And year 4 is fully work based.

To be successful as an Anglian Water Apprentice you will require:

Maths & English GCSE (grade A-C or 9-4) OR;

Predicted Maths & English GCSE (grade A-C or 9-4) OR;

Proof of enrolment onto Level 2 Maths & English Functional Skills

An enthusiastic nature, a willingness to learn & team spirit

A passion for practical work, the great outdoors and exceptional customer service
